The reason is that their promoters and managers pushed them hard by getting them played repeatedly on every radio station in North America and Western Europe and then getting them put on every popular music reviewer “best bands ever” list so that basic bitches would think “well if their music is everywhere and the corporate mandated music media says they’re good then they must be amazing!”

They had a huge influence. I’m not a Beatles fan yet I can see this.
They arguably created the first hard rock song ever.
They were pionneers of progressive rock.
They were precursors of doom metal.
And I’m probably forgetting some and surely don’t know all of the influence they had.
And they undoubtly had great variety in their songs and experimented a lot.
